Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis of Pulsatile Blood Flow and Heat Transfer in Living Tissues During Thermal Therapy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current numerical investigation tackles the fluidstructure interaction in a blood vessel subjected to a prescribed heating scheme on tumor tissues under thermal therapy. A pulsating incompressible laminar blood flow ...
Strategy for Designing Geodetic Network with High Reliability and Geometrical Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main design criteria in a geodetic network are precision, reliability and strength, and economy. The proper design of geodetic networks is an integral part of the geodesist's task. The main goal of this paper is to ...
Formulation of L1 Norm Minimization in Gauss-Markov Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: norm minimization adjustment is a technique to detect outlier observations in geodetic networks. The usual method for implementation of
Least-Squares Formula for Zero Error (Z0) of Electromagnetic Distance Measuring Instruments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The zero error of electromagnetic distance measuring instruments is a near-constant systematic error, which has the same effect on the measured distances. This paper presents a least-squares formula for this correction ...
Weighted Total Least Squares with Singular Covariance Matrices Subject to Weighted and Hard Constraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Weighted total least squares (WTLS) has been widely used as a standard method to optimally adjust an errors-in-variables (EIV) model containing random errors both in the observation vector and in the coefficient matrix. ...
Improving the Energy Conversion Efficiency of a Savonius Rotor Using Automatic Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Savonius wind turbines are popular for their easy fabrication and high starting capabilities. Nevertheless, they suffer from low power coefficients, which are mainly due to a negative torque resulting from the blade moving ...
Weighted Total Least Squares with Constraints: Alternative Derivation without Using Lagrange Multipliers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This technical note presents alternative derivations for the weighted total least-squares (WTLS) problem subject to weighted and hard constraints. The derivations do not take into account the Lagrange multipliers, and the ...

Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Savonius wind turbines are popular for their easy fabrication and high starting capabilities. Nevertheless, they suffer from low power coefficients, which are mainly due to a negative torque resulting from the blade moving ...
Physical and Chemical Investigation of Crude Oil Adsorption Using Bentonite Nanofluid in Contaminated Bushehr Carbonate Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Guaranteeing the civil engineering structures’ safety around oil wells is a crucial problem in civil and environmental engineering. The spillage of crude oil (CO) in soils leads to an intense decline in strength, causing ...
Stabilized Slope Using Stone Columns Reinforced with Geotextile Encasement and Laminated Coatings: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the performance of vertical geotextile encased stone columns (VGESC) and horizontal geotextile coatings reinforced stone columns (HGCRSC) in a small-scale physical model under 1-g conditions. The ...
